Replying to: thegraduate (Apr 24, 2008 11:27 am) When the vehicle is stuck, or likely to become so, simply pushing a dash-mounted VTM-4 button will lock-in an equal power split between the front and rear wheels. Although this may not be a true 4-wheel drive setup, it accomplishes much the same results when the ultimate in traction is required.   FYI: if you have a Pilot, when engaging VTM4 for these purposes, it is also recommended to disengage ESC (accomplished by a different button on the dash) for as long as VTM4 is needed.

Hopefully they update that into this decade when they re-design the car.

Replying to: bmr123 (Apr 24, 2008 7:44 pm) Ha, well to be fair it was a Canadian LX "Granite Edition" which I think amounts to our "Value Package."   Here's a 2008 more upscale model.

Replying to: bmr123 (Apr 24, 2008 7:44 pm) "boring display" and "exterior style" if these are the reasons people buy a car then all I can say is WOW....you might as well say that you're buying car X because it has the best color! I guess safety, reliabiility, driving dynamics, interior space, comfort, interior quality, MPG, resale value, price, etc...don't mean too much...boy that blue is sooooo nice !!!!!!!!

Replying to: baggs32 (Apr 24, 2008 9:56 am) Interesting graph, thanks.   Indeed, pretty much what we said. The minivan pie is shrinking, but far fewer entries are competing for it.   With Crossovers, the segment seemingly has a new entry each week or so.   So, would you rather eat a personal pan pizza all by yourself, or get a large and share it with 8 friends?
